rduarte,

Yes, as Sir Richard Branson described it, if you go fishing, the fish you catch in your net and haul on board is what you actually take home(net)....The fish that escaped your net whilst pulling them in, the FAT TAX MAN ate!(gross)

Sick as a parrot

Being a non-pilot (but a desparate wannabe) I take home approx £1650 per month (paid weekly) as a lorry driver, duty hours are 51 a week but work only for about 45, the benefits of job and knock.

Could always be more but I refuse to do overtime for the barstewards that I work for.

Hey could be worse... I could be flying for Ryanair.

PhD Student. Take home basic £1300 (none-taxable) + £15 per hour for any teaching I do, and I usually manage about 12 hours per month.

I usally pick up around £1500. This is also after the monthly deduction of £332 for my course fees.

Is this topic description for this forum new? Good stuff - it's about time people (in all industries) stopped seeing discussions of salary as some kind of faux pas. Keep the discussion going and everyone join BALPA.

Personally... EZ CTC recruit. £1000/month subsistence salary for the next (first) six months until I've proved myself but looking forward to things getting significantly better in November. And then better still!

25 years working my way up through electronics for a well known broadcaster sees me managing 10 staff for about 60 hours / week.
This equates to around £3000 / month net.
All of last years leave went on sitting at Bristol and then Gatwick for 6 weeks followed by more leave for CPL / IR.
Recent promotion means it is more difficult now to jump ship and take a paycut and start again from the bottom.
Now if I could only get made redundant - $$$$

US based 737 take-home pay

Ex-pat Brit living in the US and flying for a US low-cost airline (AirTran Airways). Just past 3 yrs with the company and now a B-737 Capt taking home on average 8500 USD after taxes, union dues and medical insurance have been taken. (Medical coverage is very steep at our compnay compared to other US carriers but with no NHS, you've got to suck it up!). Also, our company drops an additional 10.5% of your pay into a stock market based retirement account for you.

Gas (petrol) has just topped the $3 mark and they complain about it!!
